It is certainly doable, though it may take a bit of time.
First you need a development version of `cblrepo`, check out commit
4364ed0ab546fafbff59163d59c6bf94d8298dd4 on the branch called
`devo/ghc74` [1]. That version of `cblrepo` is compilable using the
packages currently in [haskell], but it generates PKGBUILDs usable
with GHC 7.4.1.
Check out the sources I used for [ghc74]
$ git clone git clone http://www.kiwilight.com/~magnus/ah-ghc74.git
Now you can use the `makeahpkg` script as usual to first build GHC
itself, then the dev-version of cblrepo to generate the PKGBUILDs, in
order to finally build the entire [ghc74] repo for yourself.
Let me know if you run into any troubles.
